I don't think you need to be specific, if you provide enough support points. My 2012 TI has lived on its trailer since new, using two standard Hobie cradles spaced at (I think) 67 inches. I then have two plastic rollers, each one placed about halfway between that end of the hull and the nearest cradle. Zero distortion, happy camper!

Under or close to: the mast cup, mirage drive wells, scupper holes

Or place on two pipes running in the two grooves under the hull and support the pipes.
